Figure 4-3 Removal of Coin Mechanism

Cleaning

of

Coin

Paths

-------

CAUTION

--------.

The use

of

an abrasive (such

as

steel

wool

or

a

wire

brush)

or

a

lubrication

on a

coin

mechanism

will

result in a rapid

buildup

of

residue.

By

talking

to

many

operators, we have

found

that

the

best

method

of

cleaning a coin mechanism

is

by

us-

ing

hot

or

boiling

water

and a

mild

detergent. A

toothbrush

may

be used

for

those

stubborn

buildups

of

residue.

After

cleaning, flush

thoroughly

with

hot

or

boiling

water, then

blow

out

all

water

with

compressed

air.

Figure 4-4 shows

the

surfaces

to

clean inside

the

coin

mechanism. These

include

the

inside surface

of

the

THE MECHANISM,

AS

WELL AS THE

MAGNET)

Figure

Mechanism

mainplate,

and

the

corresponding surface

of

the

gate

assembly. There

may

also be

metal

particles

clinging

to

the

magnet

itself.

To

remove

these

you

can

guide

the

point

of

a

screwdriver

or

similar

tool

along

the

edge

of

the

magnet.

If

coins are

not

traveling

as

far

as

the

coin

mechanisms,

you

will

need

to

clean

the

channel

beneath

the

coin

slot. To gain access

to

this channel, use a

3/8-inch

wrench

and

remove

all three nuts

that

secure

the

cover

plate

(refer

to

Figure

4-5).

Removing

the

plate

will

provide

access

to

the

entire

channel.

Also clean

the

inside surfaces

of

the secondary

coin

chutes,

but

when

doing

this be

careful

not

to

damage

or

bend

the

trip

wires

on

the

coin

switches.

Lubrieation

Do

not

apply

lubrication

to

the

coin

mechanisms.

The

only

points

that

may

need

lubrication

(and

only

rarely) are

the

shafts

of

the

scavenger

buttons

(coin re-

jection

buttons)

where

they

pass

through

the

coin

door.

Apply

only

one

drop

of

light

machine

oil,

and be

positive

that

no

oil

drops

down

onto

a

coin

mechanism.

Figure 4-6 shows this

lubrication

point.

Switeh

Trip

Wire

In

order

for

a

coin

switch

to

operate

reliably

when

a

coin

travels

down

the

secondary

coin

chute,

the

rest

position

of

its

trip

wire

should be

as

shown in Figure 4-7.

Use extreme care

when

handling

or

touching

these

wires.
